Asher Roth must have gone to USC.Sure, every college has kegs rollin' around
and red cups in the alleyways, but USC is the mecca.It would be no surprise if the music video for
that ' I Love College' song was filmed on a typical night at a typical party at
USC.It' s crazy.People were even singing the song while
stumbling down the street with fiesta beverages in their hands.Unfortunately, Asher Roth must have been
writing lyrics for his next piece of genius, because he was nowhere to be
seen.However, the electro duo LMFAO and
Ghostland Observatory were in the house to keep things raging in typical
college fashion.The Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour decided
to show up too, just long enough to spread the shred and get out' .before they
could get kicked out.

The spring shred fest was part of the annual ' Derby Days'
charity event hosted by the Sigma Chi fraternity.There's nothing like giving back to the LA
Children's Hospital with some good clean snow slidin' .Students were stoked/confused to say the
least.Some people seemed the fear the
huge mass of margarita spread throughout the street and stood a safe distance,
snapping picture on their camera phones.
Others thought a snowball fight was the right thing to do.Either way, everyone was stoked on the snow,
stoked on the shredding, and stoked to be doing it all for charity.

With the snow melting fast under the sun, things got slushy and riders got wet.Local rippers pulled
out all their bangers without even warming up, resulting in a mix of cheers and
carnage.When the fat lady had sung,
judges huddled together and put their pens to the paper to score the 60 riders
and skiers that came out to throw down.
All in all, it was Mikey Radziwon who took first for the mens
snowboarders.Mike Brokeoff followed
closely in second and scooped up a new Omatic board for his smooth
style.Swivel master, Jon Montana,
rounded up the pack in third and took home some new Skullcandy headphones.Congrats boys!

As for the ladies,Omatic ripper, Alice Gong claimed the top spot on the podium.Bre Wright
took home a new Omatic stick for her second place efforts.Third place was filled by Erica
Stark after destroying all three rails.

The two-plankers were out for blood the entire contest.They must have figured that since the season is
over, there's nothing to loose.
Competitors were absolutely hucking themselves for the win.That was Sean Trotter's plan, and everything
turned out perfectly.Sean walked away
in first place with some cash in his pockets.
Christopher Faro was also following the same game plan, and took home
second place and a new pair of Boone Skis.Abe Kislevitz rounded the field in third and
walked away with some new Skullcandy headphones and a big
ol' smile!Yeah!

Now that the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour crew
has successfully spred the shred in seven states, it is time for the guys to
head back to Oregon to prep for one more event on their home turf before the
Portland Finals on May 30^th!
